Re: Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish

Think straight active polymers. Most all of our other waxes including Ultimate Quik Wax have polishing oils in them. These polishing oils can increase gloss significantly. This is why we are saying if you are going for the absolute best in protection & gloss, use Ultimate Fast Finish in addition to your favorite liquid or paste wax.

Would the addition of Ultimate Liquid Wax (given that it is also a polymer sealant) on top of this be pointless/overkill? My thought was the UFF would bond best to fresh paint (following an IPA wipe down) and then adding ULW would provide additional (sacrificial) polymer protection while also providing a decent shine. Or am I completely off my rocker here?

I tried UFF on my Camaro after a pass with Ult Polish, and it did OK. It seems to be doing better since I used D151-Paint Rejuvenating Cream (an AIO) THEN applied the UFF.

Whether it's overkill or not would depend on you and what you're trying to achieve, how much time you have etc.

What I can say is that I've done what you've described above on my DD and it's working out well...

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

So other than washing, there is no pre-treatment steps? No claying or polishing? And it can go right over Ultimate Wax to add longer protection? I waxed this Sunfire a few weeks ago but just noticed the new product. Thinking of applying it if it only takes a few minutes and if it will extend protection and beading.

Re: Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish

I must say that to me Ultimate Fast Finish is quite a game-changer. Basically I could choose any wax or sealant, which works best on certain paint type, and just lock it for up to 1 year using UFF on top. No more worries about its durability as UFF will do the work in that regard.

Of course Ultimate Fast Finish will not make car paint bullet-proof, regular maintenance is still required, like washing, quick detailing and spray waxing.

Prep work is still very important. Any wax or sealant will benefit, not only durability-wise, from claying and pre-wax polishing.

And it can go right over Ultimate Wax to add longer protection?

Absolutely. I think that was Meguiar's main idea behind that product.
I topped already Ultimate Paste Wax and M16 Professional Paste Wax with Ultimate Fast Finish on few vehicles. No issues at all.
